TIPS TO A SUCCESSFUL CAREER (Part 1)

By -

Often times, a lot of people find it hard to cope with and manage the career path they have chosen.
Luck sometimes may be against some while for others, it's due to doing a bad (poor) homework.
While choosing your career path, lots of things need to be taken into consideration and some of them are outlined below.

1. Identify with Your Goals. 
Before even considering following a career route, you must get to know yourself. A big majority of people go through life by following a well-established pattern. The sad part is, they don't even like what they do or they just don't really realize how many other things they could do.
In order to avoid this awful happening, you need to identify what are your biggest rational wishes. Then, start going deeper and make an in-depth introspection in which you should think about the connection between your inner desires and your rational goals.
They have to match. Otherwise, you will not be truly fulfilled with your professional life. Identifying with your goals takes some time and effort, but it is a truly important process in any successful person's journey.

2. Choose your occupation wisely. 
Before you decide to pursue any career, ask yourself this question: "Can I see myself doing this all day, every day, for many years?" When you choose an occupation, make sure it's a good match for your personality, interests, aptitudes, and work-related values. Learn as much as you can about yourself by conducting a complete self-assessment. Do extensive career research about the occupation you are considering to learn about job duties, qualifications, earnings, and employment outlook.

3. Do not let anyone tell you what is best for you.
Ignore those who say, "Pick this field because it has lots of opportunities right now," or "You will make loads of money so it doesn't matter if you hate your job," or "I like this career and therefore you will too." Although they may be well-meaning, these statements are among the many myths about career choice. All ignore one important thing: your career choice is a personal decision that will have a significant effect on your life for many years. Oh, and by the way, the relationship between earnings and job satisfaction is minimal.

4. Be focused. 
Are you really present physically and mentally. Try to block out all distractions so that you have the time to truly focus on your tasks and career.

To be continued.

WHOSE HANDS?

  A tennis racket in my hands is worthless but a tennis racket in the hands of Serena Williams is worth millions. A rod in my hands merely keeps a dog away but a rod in the hands of Moses parted the red sea. A sling in my hands is just a toy but a sling in David’s hands is a mighty weapon. Five loaves of bread and two fishes in my hands is just enough for breakfast but in Jesus’ hands fed thousands. Nails on my hands to the cross might just cause an injury to me or kill me but in the hands and feet of Jesus brought salvation for the entire world. You see that it all depends on whose hands it is. So, put all of your concerns, agonies, worries, fears, hopes, dreams, families, and relationship in the hands of God because it all depends on whose hands it is. This message is now in your hands, what will you do with it? It all depends on whose hands it is.
